The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1887-09-15

The SITTER is always pleased to
chronicle the success of Londonderry
boys, so with pleasure it makes the
following clipping from the Kansas
City Implement and Farm journal,
in reference to Nj, G. Curtis, son of
A. A. Curtis of Londonderry, who
was recently here on visit;
"Mr. NJ. G. Curtis, assistant cash
Ter of the American National Bank,
departed on the 10th inst. for an ex-
tended visit at his home in New
England, and will indulge in the de-
light of a Yachting cruise with num-
Der of eastern bankers. Mr.. Curtis
is one of the Youngest and most sue
cessful bankers in the west, and his
rapid advancement has been due to
his acknowledged abilities as one of
the abest tinancers in the country.
The Implement and Farm Journal
joins with his hosts of friends in wish
ing him an enjoyable respite from his
arduous duties"
f. l.. Abbot, son of Lucius Abbot
of this village, who has been spending
a vacation with his parents and other
friends and relatives in this place and
has Just returned to his home in South
Bend, Ind, is to be classed with the
many successful New England men
who have made their homes in the
West. Mr.. Abbott went to SO. Bend
in 1870 In 1873 he went to California,
expecting to make a home there but
returned to SO. Bend the same wear,
and was elected superintendent of
the city water works, then being con-
structed. This position Mr.. Abbott
has held ever since, and in this time
he has seen the city more than treb-
bled in population.
During his superintendency he has
enlarged the old works, constructed
new ones with a capacity Of between
3 and million gallons, daily, design
ed and put into operation large water
supply from artesian flowing wells.
This latter he advocated II years ago
and worked in its favor with untiring
zeal and against much opposition, but
nerve and pluck carried the scheme
through aud last January, when the
work was completed, so well pleased
were his fellow citizens with the result
that they presented him with a $500
watch, chain and charm, the latter
representing stand pipe. Mr.. Abbott
has taken out a number of patents,
such as fire eXtinguishers, lawn sprink-
lers, lawn hoes, reel &c.
His first VACATION for nearly IA years
was taken this summer, when he came
East.

able site will put up there his mill and use
the power of this splendid location. Bar
nett's Shoals is one of the finest powers IN
Georgia The bed of the Oconee is rock,
and at the head a natural dam extends en-
tirely across, diagonally down the stream
from the left bank to the right, and there
fore Just favorable for turning the water TO
the left bank. Over the ledge occurs the
most rapid fall, amounting TO twenty-five
feet in 300 yards The river is about $50
feet wide above the shcal, and very deep,
and the banks are low and sandy. In
heavy freShet the river rises six 10
seven feet, while three-fourths of a mile
above il rises seventeen feet and on the
shoal self scarcely ever over three or four
feet. 1t is one of the finest sites in that part
of the state. Fine building stone is found i'll
the immediate vicinity. Prof. ID. c. Bar
row, who has made survey, says: Il
should say the shoal is twelve miles from
Athens, though many persons familiar with
the road, think the distance less When
the Macon and Athens road is built it will
pass within two or three miles of this shoal.
The census gives the fall as Al feet; it IS %
feet made careful survey of it. The
amount of water is put in the census for low
season dry years at FOG cubic feet per second
giving 23.4 horse power per foot OF fall:
From. measurement made of North and
Middle Oconee in dry season | feel sure that
this should be at least so per cent. greater,
say 80 cubic feet per second and 35.2 horse
power per foot fall Some day a large town
will be located on the banks of the Oconee

ODD FELLoWSRlP.

La America there is, we believe,
but one branch OF the order of Odd
Fellowship, and it was formed 10y a
blacksmith, named Wiidey, and two Or
three others in Baltimore, in the year
1919. Not founded by them, but
organized upon the basis of English
Odd Fellowship. 1t was named the
'1ndependent Order of Odd Fellows" !"
In England there was split in the
order upon the question of wine and
sociability at the lodge room. The
fanatics who are usually III the minor
ity setting up for themselves. The
progress of the "Iudependent Order"
in America has been marvellous, and it
Is doubtles due to its system of organ
lied and nethodized charity as dis
tinguished from the general cultivation
of that virtue by the Free Masons.
The certainty that member in good
standing who chancod to be sick or i'll
capacitated for labor would get his
weekly benefits WIS fresh and per-
sonal lure always, and thus selishness
was grated upon charity to give the
latter greater vlgor and value. There
is nothing really secret, though much
that is sacred about Odd Fellowship
except the semi-annual pass word, as
we heard Grand Master Dur rham, now
In the treasury department at Wash
ington, say a great many wears age
when he was a supreme officer Of the
body in America. It's methodized
charity and its promotion of the socia-
bility and good will of members amongst
themselves are its charms. The Grand
Lodge of Oregon now in session in
East Portland is very fine body, and
we venture to say that there is nc
more liberal minded lot of men to be
found on the North America Cont
nent. nt.-Portland Evening Democrat.

n Star reporter met a republican
congressman to day who talked freely
about the political outlook of his party,
but objected to being quoted. He says
that up to about the time congress al.
jcurned he had accepted it as fore
gone conclusion that Mr.. Blaine would
be their next nominee. Since then he
has become doubtful
Sherman, he says, has made some
big strides of late, and there seems
now to bc close race between them.
with it very doubtful which is in the
lead. at looks more like Sherman,'
he says, than it ever did before, but it
may be that neither will get it. What
ever we may say publicly, we all know
that it is not going TO be an easy thing
to beat Mr.. Cleveland. We will have
no show in the fight if we enter it
handicapped with eternal differences.
The party leaders recognize the fact
that the whole party has got to pull
together to win, and that individual
preferences have got to be sunk for the
good of the whole party. They are
trying to effect harmony, anu that in.
dividals will be set aside fer the time.
The question Is, Who will best hold
the entire republican strength and
the effort will be to nominate the man
who will do this. This makes it Ill
tie uncertain about Mr.. Blaine. 1t
may be that neither Blaine or Sher-
man will get the nomination, but that
some outside man will he called. 1t
is claimed for Mr.. Blaine that he will
draw more democratic votes than he
will lose republican. 1t is certain
that he would get more democratic
votes than any other republican
could. But the question is whether it
is we'll to trust to this.
Many of the best party leaders hold
that the fate of the party must lie with
men Of its own faith, and that the strong.
est candidate is the man who can carry
the whole party. This will all be care
fully considered before it becomes sure
thing for anyone. There is no doubt
in the world that Mr.. Cleveland is
very well liked by many of our best
republican statesman. Some of our
best men of the party went with him
before, and the probability that he
would get still more of them if we
should nominate Blaine must be con.
sidered. We must not deceive our
selves. The Conkling element is as
bitter against Mr. Blaine as ever, and
the hatred of Mr.. Edmunds for him is
intense. This must all be considered.
We will have to use our forces to the
very best advantage to beat Mr. Cleve-
land and the wisest counsel will have
to be followed | do not mean by
this that Mr.. Blaine may not be the
choice of the party, but that he will be
is by no means as certain as it seemed
to be few months ago. He will not
be nominated as mere matter OF
sentiment
